Every DJ's favourite DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U had two very different online mixes shared in August 2026. The results are head spinning when placed into context of each other, but are they worth it?

The third and last of my "reactionary thinking in filmmaking" pieces is both a retrospective of the previous two essays and a reflection on the broader culture surrounding the films discussed.

did a screenshot study! From a playthrough of #bigwalk I did with friends Thank you to @keilanktc.bsky.social for the original screenshot :>

a digital painting study of a screenshot from the game "Big Walk". There's 3 player characters, one of them being held by another player as they are "dead".

The second of my three "reactionary thinking in filmmaking" pieces is both a complicated love letter of sorts to Lesbian Space Princess and an interrogation of the frankly unprecedented attention surrounding it. It also becomes a metaphorical action movie at one point.

Over the next few days, a pair of blockbuster articles on Medium and a smaller piece of writing which ties the two together will be published. Brace yourselves for some of the headiest writing I've done so far.

It's frustrating to see at least one of our musical works get a false automated positive claim like this, especially when we had no prior awareness of another track also using disoriented pads as part of its sonic characteristics. It's also not even the RIGHT unauthorised instance of sampling here.

YouTube automated copyright claim for Cone Mann and Cone Lad's latest track "The Face of the Collective" where it claims there was infringement of the track "Nu 2002 - Sped Up Eden FM".

Truth be told, I'm not 100% sure how I fumbled my way into this way. ...Thanks Lexi?

"Ruining Duck Life 4 by ignoring the game mechanics" video from Rin Penrose. Rin Penrose is on the bottom right reacting to my "Duck & Bass" comment. A duck is also on screen somewhere, within a volcanic environment.

In all seriousness I am flattened that my contribution was considered a fundamental loadbearing part of the highlight video experience, I'm just a bit taken aback that's all.

here are the (almost up-to-date) order counts for the #coolkidcody plushies! as a heads up there are‼️ONLY FOUR DAYS‼️left for pre-orders, so if you'd been thinkin' about snagging a plush, now's a great time to do so! :D plushwonderland.com/products/10c...

cool kid cody standing proudly in front of a big eleven with his cool purple shades, pan flag colored jacket and expression of triumph! THE COOL KID OF ALL TIME!!

pizza boy wearing his lil' pizza cap and pizza delivery uniform, staring at the letter ten in shock and awe. he has no idea why people like him so much, but we know (pizza scented plushie).

mini with her little god wings, flying with the letter ten on her back, looking up with a happy expression surrounded by sparkles and stars! nobody tell her that cody got a higher number than her.

juvie with their cool green and red hair, torn vest and red jacket around their waist, standing by a devilish 6. it's not a big number but it's how you use it or something like that.

So at one point I was considering writing an article about another VTuber named Kairyu Crocodile, but ultimately I lost interest in doing so because I lost interest. The scope of it was decently ambitious and this project would have been split into several sections (1/10).
